Knowledgeable, professional and appropriately demanding. Upon experiencing 6 prior "experienced" RE agents we found Stephen. The difference was night and day. My having been in business in many sectors, wearing many hats, for many years, it is reasonably easy to sort the wheat from the chaff. I had begun to believe that chaff was our only option. The real estate profession is... full of its self and wannabes and let's do this the quick and easy way without having to spend much time on sales effort and less time on getting the deal done by pricing below market to keep our sales volume high as this is a performance metric which brings future customers...they want to see numerical performance. Stephen has both, performance in sales numbers and performance in dollar sales/market return per unit. His secret? He works in a timely manner, does the research, and associates with professional individuals that know their craft. Out of almost 80+ RE agents I have worked with over the last 45 years, Stephen is in the top 5. Of those 5, 2 have gone to the great RE office in the sky and 1 recently retired in disgust of their realty support company...and the last retired from overwork. It's the nature of the industry, based on seller lack of knowledge and the ease of which sellers can be sold. Proof you say? How many timeshares do people end up buying every year... and later regretting? Share this review everywhere

Stephen was top notch. We went through hell and back with the buyer of our house and he helped every step of the way. He was patient and understanding and jumped through every obstacle along the way. I look forward to being able to recommend him any chance I get.

Stephen did an outstanding job with the sale of our condo. We moved out, and he did the rest with us remotely. His assistance in setting the price was spot on. His negotiation and recommendations during the sale process were again right on target. He kept us informed and communicated regularly. Thanks Stephen.. we highly recommend Stephen Nilsen.

Steve Nilsen was an absolute lifesaver! We moved across the country, west coast to east coast move! We were unable to come check out our new house but Steve made sure he was at every appointment and always face timed us and gave us so many details about our new home, it felt like we were there! He was available for us to talk to him anytime, even with the 3 hour time difference! I highly recommend Steve!
